The transition to first-time parenthood can be challenging for couples. Using a sample of 848 ethnically diverse couples from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study across the first 3 years of parenthood, we investigated the longitudinal and dyadic associations of each parents' parental stress, supportive coparenting, and relationship quality. Results from an actor-partner interdependence model indicated that supportive coparenting significantly predicted higher relationship quality for both mothers and fathers. Fathers' supportive coparenting significantly buffered the effects of mothers' parental stress on relationship quality. Also, the unique dyadic contexts of each parents' supportive coparenting, and also both partners' parental stress were significantly associated with relationship quality. Clinical implications from these findings are discussed through commonly used clinical theories.
对于夫妻来说，首次为人父母的转变可能具有挑战性。我们从“脆弱家庭与儿童福利研究”中选取了848对不同种族的夫妻作为样本，对为人父母的头三年进行研究，调查了每位父母的育儿压力、支持性共同育儿以及关系质量之间的纵向和二元关联。actor - partner相互依存模型的结果表明，支持性共同育儿显著预测了母亲和父亲更高的关系质量。父亲的支持性共同育儿显著缓冲了母亲的育儿压力对关系质量的影响。此外，每位父母支持性共同育儿的独特二元背景以及双方的育儿压力都与关系质量显著相关。我们通过常用的临床理论讨论了这些发现的临床意义。
